• Fluxes in <strong>the</strong> Alaska Gyre at 55 o N were similar in<br />
magnitude and composition to fluxes at OSP.<br />
• Fluxes at 3 stations west of <strong>the</strong> dateline were composed<br />
almost entirely of BSi. Total fluxes were very low near<br />
<strong>the</strong> dateline but in <strong>the</strong> NW, ~3x higher than in <strong>the</strong><br />
eastern <strong>North</strong> <strong>Pacific</strong>.<br />
• Fluxes along Line P decreased with distance <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
coast. The “downward” flux at La Perouse Bank shows<br />
sping and summer peaks similar to those at OSP.<br />
Highest carbonate fluxes throughout <strong>the</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Pacific</strong><br />
were measured at P12 and P16.
